title: L-arabinose metabolism in Azospirillum brasiliense.
abstract: An oxidative pathway by which L-arabinose is converted to alpha-ketoglutarate in crude extracts of Azospirillum brasiliense is demonstrated. Specific activities of enzymes involved in the pathway were determined, and several pathway intermediates were identified.
